Even after 13 days of the withdrawal of the Deputy Commissioners (DCs) from 25 districts, the government has not yet appointed DCs in those districts.

Now, additional Deputy Commissioners have to handle the work of these 21 districts. On the other hand, the four DCs who have been transferred have to remain in their previous places of work as their districts were affected by the floods. Sources said that the Ministry of Public Administration is not able to appoint DCs in the districts right now because a list of suitable officers has been prepared for this work.
